WTF!!!!!!
It's Thursday. Day two of this week's MEVIO Tech WTF.
Today Carlos, and special guest Greg Nice bring you a list of redonkulously expensive gadgets and things. They call this Hella Expensive Tech. So here we go:
First up is by Axiotron. It is a mod to the Apple Macbook pro that turns it into a fully functional tablet Mac. It's called the Modbook Pro, and it packed with features, including: Ethernet, FireWire® 800, USB 2.0 (x2), Mini DisplayPort, digital audio, ExpressCard/34 slot and Bluetooth – plus a three-button keybar for on/off, Mod Key and battery indicator. On the top of the Modbook Pro is the optical drive bay and pen garage with magnetic pen catch. It also has handwriting recognition software that will read even the worst handwriting.

Next: The Clearaudio Statement Turntable. This turntable is the highest of the highest end for your vinyl.
Featuring:
# Patented magnetic-driven sub-platter (makes no contact with main platter)
# Additional magnetic vertical platter bearing
# All platters dynamically balanced
# Kardan turntable chassis suspension
# Automatic horizontal levelling device including tonearm platforms (no air pump or compressor)
# 80kg pendulum weight for self levelling of top platform
# High speed microprocessor-controlled motor drive unit (as used in Mars Rover)
# Oil damping devices for the main turntable chassis
# Real-time speed control and active blue LCD display
# Ergonomic fine speed adjustment (33, 45 and 78rpm)
# Accommodates up to four different tonearms
# Complete resonance control via damped and sandwiched bullet-proof wood (Panzer Holz), stainless steel and acrylic construction.
Unless you're Donald Trump, you might want to pass on this as it will set you back $150,000. Ouch. I hope it at least fetches you a glass of fine wine while you listen.

#3 on the list is a bit more down to earth: V-Moda Vibe Earbuds
These metal alloy crafted earbuds brings a sophisticated design to your listening pleasure without breaking the bank. They feature hi-definition sound with rich vibrant dynamic range. They provide three different sized fittings to assure comfort while you wear them. They also have very good noise reduction capability. They run about $99.

#4 on the Hella Expensive Tech list is an oldie, but a goodie: the Harmon Kardon Soundsticks
"Harman Kardon's SoundSticks II three-piece speaker system produces high-quality stereo sound for Music, MP3's, movies and gaming experiences.
SoundSticks II encourages consumers to step out of the ordinary speaker world and offers sound in an original and unique package. The system, described as curvy, sleek and sexy, provides consumers with sound that is loud and clear.
SoundSticks II employs a new computer-optimized multi-band parametric equalization and Harman’s unique ”capacitance touch“ control buttons on the right satellite allow for direct access to volume control"

And last on the list is from a company called Glacier Computer called the W200 Wearable Computer.
Running the Windows CE or Linux operating systems the W200 boasts a 3.5” 320 x 240 resolution color display with touch screen, backlit keyboard and a hot swappable battery pack. The integrated wired or wireless interfaces including plug and play Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS modules ensure continuous connectivity to access a remote host system. In addition to an electronic compass, the system also boasts power saving features such as a tilt and dead reckoning system which puts the device into standby when it detects the arm is hanging down beside the user’s body. Weighing just 10.2 ounces, (290 grams), and shaped to fit the contours of the arm the rugged W200 includes 128MB of Flash and 128MB of RAM memory and is water resistant.
